Today is voting day in New York City and Mayor de Blasio, holding the Italian flag during a parade not long ago honoring Italian Americans, is up for re-election. I went out before lunch to my polling place, a school two blocks from my house here in Manhattan. I think no one is very far from their polling place in this city. There were plenty of poll workers and voting machines, so we were moving through at good speed.
One of many things I like about New York City is that we vote very close to where we live. Dense population no doubt accounts for that. I have lived in places where it was rather a trek to where I could vote. Not here.
